AI is a massive bubble. Bigger then .com, bigger than 2008.
When it pops, it will POP.

Premium tomorrow: OpenAI spent $11.2 billion in compute, sales/marketing for $4.3bn in revenue in 1H 2025.
Desperate to grow ChatGPT, they launched Sora 2, which costs them at least $5 per generated video.
Here's $10 off a year of annual.

So OneDrive takes over my PC and I don't remember saying yes to that. It starts to backup my Documents, Pictures, Downloads, etc directories. I didn't really notice, as I subscribed to Office with extra space.
I cancelled Office and now I am way over the limit and so I CANT RECEIVE EMAILS anymore?

The iPhone 16e is a real misstep for me.
The main reason? They approached it as "built for AI" and not "a cheap entry phone into our ecosystem" as the SE was before it.
Without the AI they could have used a cheaper chip and half the ram. Knock at least US$100 off the price.
As it stands its MEH

I know making games is a team sport, but it does kind of jar that at the Game Awards not one actual game dev role gets an award, only teams do - but then we have *personal* awards for best acting, best Content Creator (personally never heard of any of the nominees this year) and best Esports player.

Israel destroyed 83% of plant life in Gaza by June this year.
It destroyed 70% of its agricultural land.
It damaged or destroyed 65% of water tanks and 47% of groundwater wells.
Israel has deliberately tried to make Gaza uninhabitable. This is genocide.

All these claims about ChatGPT etc taking over programmers jobs....I have given it a task to do. Not massive, not super simple either. It claims to understand the task, yet now I am stuck in a loop where it gives broken code, acknowledges it is broken & why, then.....gives the exact same code again.
